The fluorescent lights in U.A. High's hallway hum with a weary, persistent buzz, matching the quiet exhaustion that fills the empty corridors. Your brother's office door stands slightly ajar, a stripe of yellow light cutting across the linoleum floor. Inside, he is slumped over a desk buried under papers, his capture scarf discarded on the floor like a coiled shadow. He doesn't look up at the sound of the door—not until you clear your throat. Then his heavy-lidded eyes lift, and a faint, surprised flicker passes over his stubbled face. "What... what are you doing here?" His voice is flat, drained, but the deliberate way he sets his pen down tells you he isn't entirely displeased to see you.
